<H3><A NAME="8_2_7">8.2.7 Another variant of 2D Pie plots</A></H3>
<P> As mentioned in the beginning there are two versions of the 2D pie
 plots. The normal pie plot created as an instance of <A href="../ref/PiePlot.html#_C_PIEPLOT">
 class PiePlot</A> and a variant created as an instance of <A href="../ref/PiePlot.html#_C_PIEPLOTC">
 class PiePlotC</A></P>
<P> This variant is an extension of the standard PiePlot in the sense
 that it also have a filled circle in the center. The following example
 illustrates this</P>
<P><DIV class="example">
<BR> <A href="exframes/frame_piecex1.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
HEIGHT="300"       src="img/img/img/img/img/img/piecex1.png" WIDTH="300"></A>
<BR><B>Figure 137:</B> Example of the variant of pie plot with a filled
 center circle <A href="exframes/frame_piecex1.html" target="blank">
[src]</A>&nbsp;
<P></P>
</DIV></P>
<P></P>
<P> Since the PiePlotC is an extension to the basic pie plot all the
 normal formatting you can do for pie plots you can also do for the
 PiePlotC .</P>
<P> The additional formatting only concerns the filled middle circle.
 You have the option of adjusting size, fill color and all font
 properties. You perform these operations with the methods</P>
<P></P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><A href="../ref/PiePlotC.html#_PIEPLOTC_SETMIDCOLOR">
PiePlotC::SetMidColor()</A></TD><TD>Set fill color of mid circle</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A href="../ref/PiePlotC.html#_PIEPLOTC_SETMIDSIZE">
PiePlotC::SetMidSize()</A></TD><TD>Set size (fraction of radius)</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A href="../ref/PiePlotC.html#_PIEPLOTC_SETMIDTITLE">
PiePlotC::SetMidTitle()</A></TD><TD>Set title string (may be
 multi-lined)</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A href="../ref/PiePlotC.html#_PIEPLOTC_SETMID">
PiePlotC::SetMid()</A></TD><TD>Set all parameters in a single method
 call</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
<P> In addition to the normal CSIM for PiePlot:s the center area is also
 a CSIM hotspot. You specify the target CSIM with a call to <A href="../ref/PiePlotC.html#_PIEPLOTC_SETMIDCSIM">
 PiePlotC::SetMidCSIM()</A></P>
<P> The next example shows an example with some more innovative
 formatting. In this example we have :</P>
<UL>
<LI> hidden the frame around the pie graph</LI>
<LI> exploded all the slices</LI>
<LI> added drop shadow to the individual slices (and the center filled
 circle)</LI>
<LI> specified individual multi line labels.</LI>
<LI> changed the font for the title to a TTF font.</LI>
</UL>
